I think I’m going to start a petition to change the three “Rs” kids learn in school to reading, writing, and responsibility because there seems to be a rather large dearth of the latter going around.

Bringing up (several) yesterday’s news, rapper Shawty Lo recently sat down for an exclusive with Sister 2 Sistermagazine, and it’s clear from the interview the 37-year-old is still a little salty he’s not going to be a reality star. We’re sure you remember the controversy that was “All My Baby Mamas.” If not, here’s the gist: Oxygen planned to air a reality TV show about Shawty Lo and the 10 women who fathered his 11 children, black folks went crazy and petitioned for the show to never see the light of day, Oxygen buckled under pressure, Shawty Lo started his own petition to bring the show back and has been crying, whining, and begging ever since.

In his latest interview with S2S, the misguided Atlanta rapper, unless we’re talking about his little troopers’ sense of direction up the birth canal, seems to think the concept of his show — remember 11 kids, 10 baby mamas — wasn’t the real problem. It was simply the title of the show. He told publisher Jamie Foster Brown:

“I really feel like the name that Oxygen came up with, ‘All My Babies’ Mamas,’ was dumb from the beginning when I heard that name. It was just the name of the reality show [that turned people off]”

Sorry, Shawty but I have to respectfully disagree. “All My Baby Mamas” was just the icing on that ratchet cake. The show could have been called “Shawty and ‘Dem Plus 10” or “11 and counting” like the names some of these other large family reality shows go by and that still wouldn’t change the basic premise or the core objection people had. Nobody, except him and Oxygen, wants to see a black man on TV with 11 kids by 10 different women, dating a woman who is nearly the same age as some of his oldest kids, who was speculated to be pregnant with his twelfth child. Nobody!

When all was said and done at S2S, Shawty had the nerve to tell Jamie, ““A show don’t make my life or break my life. It is what it is,” but he’s sure acting like it. When he started his petition to save the show, his argument was, “would you rather see 11 children struggle with mothers on welfare? Or watch a man support his children? Does it come down to the race card?”

Yes, it does come down to the race card. We see enough of this nonsense in our community on the news, we certainly don’t need a reality show about it. Check out video of his interview below. Thoughts?

No the title probably wasn’t the most tactful representation of the situation, but really, is there a tactful way to present the situation?

WHO ARE NEGROES TO STOP THIS MAN FROM MAKING A LIVING BECAUSE HE EXERCISED HIS GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO HAVE CHILDREN ANYWAY HE CHOOSES. THAT IS HIS GOD GIVEN RIGHT! BLACK AMERICANS DIDN’T START THIS PETITION. IT WAS A DAMN HAITIAN WHO COMES FROM A CULTURE WHERE ALL MEN HAVE MORE THAN ONE FAMILY AND DUMB AMERICAN NEGROES JUMPED ON THE BAND WAGON. AMERICANS HAVE A RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. HIS SHOW WAS CANCELLED BECAUSE DUMB NEGROES HAVE TOO MUCH POWER NOW TO DESTROY THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER. NEGROES ARE FAST RETURNING BACK TO SLAVERY AND WILL LOSE POWER, AND I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY WHEN I’M HAPPY THAT FOOL NEGROES ARE GOING DOWN, RATHER THAN UP.

Lol what the hell are you mad for? If he wants to have 100 children that’s his damn business. People didn’t want this stupid show aired because it only pertetuates the stereotypes that black people do nothing but have children left and right by different men/women. I’m guessing you mad because you can relate to this ratchetness. As for the comment I made, I can say whatever the h*ll I want, just as much as you can keep spewing out uneducated comments. I’m sorry that you can relate and support this ghetto mess. If you want this show aired so bad since you have nothing else to do than rant about him, you have a God given right as well to start a petition.

AMEN.

Well besides the fact of having too many baby mamas who were possibly never wives. What was really the premise of the show? “Imma ghetto azz has-been/never-was tryna make a dollar of fifteen cents-on the EBT card.”

They should have called it, “why am I baby mama number 4?” and asked those “women” what made them procreate with him.

Doesn’t matter what the title of the show would be. Even if it’s called “Shawty Lo’s Fabulous Fatherhood”, it would still be a low rated show displaying nothing but ratchet foolery. This show would have just promoted the common stereotypes of black people. Not okay!
